Tie First Sliding Knot

Take the right side of the cord and loop it over. Repeat the right-side loop on the "inside" of the loop you just made, making sure you're looping over both sections (Image A). Bring the tail to the front of your two loops and pull through (Image B). This will make a sliding knot.

Cut and Seal Ends

Trim your ends about 1/8" from the base of the knot (Image A). Seal frayed ends with a lighter but make sure not to melt the ends into the knot, as you will need these knots to move freely to adjust your bracelet (Image B).

Add Essential Oil

Add a few drops of citronella essential oil to the bracelet to help keep mosquitos away. Let it soak in for a few minutes before putting the bracelet on. To adjust sizing, slide one knot towards the other until the bracelet is large enough to slip your hand through. To tighten, pull the knots away from one another.
